BGC Partners: TOFAS BUY Maintained

TL311m NI beat the cons by 26%. Despite a 27% y/y contraction in unit sales, TOASO managed to post a 65% higher EBITDA y/y in 3Q18. EBITDA margin was 16.9% in 3Q18 (12.8% 2Q18). The gains on the gross margin level are mainly owing to the TL depreciation in the quarter leading to windfall gains on exports which comprised 85% of the top line in 3Q18 vs. 63% in 3Q17 and 76% in 2Q18. Yst's tax cuts, particularly on the commercial vehicles, could improve sentiment combined with the attractive valuation.
